Does the Winchester 50 and 59 short recoil shotguns require adjustments for light and heavy loads like the Browning and Remington long recoil guns do? I have an opportunity to buy a 59 in really nice condition. I like the muzzle light handling characteristics of this gun but I don't remember much about them.

  You should only shoot fairly light loads in a Winlite M59 12 GA. The alloy receiver is prone to cracking if you pound it too much. Besides it's such a light shotgun that only light loads make sense due to recoil.
